You can never be overdressed or overeducated

Another great quote from Oscar Wilde. One of the things I notice and have experienced myself, before I took on my extensive study of colour and style, is that we are not taught the science of style at school. Some of us are lucky enough to have had a good mentor growing up, who had style, who could steer you on the path to your own style.

Within my job I go into schools and complete observations of children aged years. I introduced myself to the class teacher, explaining he should completely ignore me and not draw attention. Grass and heels are irrelevant. I found a bench and sat making notes. Did the child notice me?

You can never be overdressed or overeducated

There aren't many quotes that aren't incessantly reposted, generally overused or copiously sprinkled with glitter and unicorns on a small plaque. A statement I feel should inspire everyone, 'You can never be overdressed or overeducated' holds a truth within which is simple, relatable and effective. So many people want to look smarter or feel better in their clothing, alter or adjust their appearance, more so now perhaps due to the perceived pressure of society, and the influence of social media. The majority of us generally look dissimilar to our online accounts as we edit and filter Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat; pretend glasses, butterflies or animal ears, the perfect skin, lashes and flushed cheeks. Make no mistake we're all guilty, sometimes a subtle filter can enhance a photograph, improve and disguise the quality or the lighting conditions. Black and white is always gorgeous, it can cover a multitude of sins and hints at a beautiful nostalgia. Due to this presence, where many people see you at your filtered best, with that flattering pose nailed and a glass of gin in-hand, leaving the house isn't necessarily as important to feel or look as good. E kit of printed leggings and trainers has become so fashionable due to the modern day lifestyle, not to mention Covid Often practicality and comfort, a CBA attitude overrule but also diminish our confidence - this is something at NSC we help clients with and it's often as simple as finding a balance that, like your lifestyle, works daily for you: not looking, or more importantly feeling, like you've been doing Joe Wicks or Zoom Yoga for the past week and a half. Increasingly we are in a society that is, in comparison, underdressed - in real life anyway. My Great-Grandad Bill was in the RAF during the War and I don't think I've known a man with shinier shoes - he was meticulous about keeping them that way too, taking care of all he had. Likewise my beautiful Nan was the same, always smart. Either a skirt and blouse, dress, or smart trousers - I had never known her in jeans, joggers or trainers, but always a pinny - and I can count on one hand how many times I saw her without it. A proper Nan, constantly cleaning, baking and cooking for the street, but again taking care of all, including the clothes she owned.

Fortunately, I discovered that there is a science that can be learned to help you find what flatters your figure. Another great quote from Oscar Wilde. Dec 25, AM.

You may even be one of the lucky ones who was born with style and have a gift for the art of it. This is where the education part comes in and really earns its keep. As someone who grew up without style, or any style mentors.
